Confirmed Intel on the X-Ploderz range

X-Stormerz. "What is this stuff i'm shooting?"

More confirmed information about the X-Ploderz line of projectile blasters. Target, Toys R Us and Amazon will be the lead US retailers; Argos, Tescos and Toys R Us will be the main UK retailers, and Walmart and Toys R Us will be for Canada. They are becoming more and more available, and will be officially launched/marketed in early Feb. Their official website should be up in the next week or so.

The RRP prices for the blasters: the smallest XBlaster will be 12.99 USD and shoot 50ft, mid sized XStormer will be 24.99 USD and shoot 75ft, and the largest XRanger at almost 3ft in length will be $39.99 which hits a very decent 85ft. I'm told these quoted ranges are VERY real, which is pretty cool..

But!..I'm told the big tech win is all about the ammo; an organic compound developed for this purpose which is safe, clean and non-toxic. It has "some magical qualities, despite being more than 99 percent water in core structure". The ammo is provided in different formats between EU and USA to meet the different toy regs of each market; which PROBABLY means it'll not pass Australian standards in any case:(

Went to Target today to get a BBB. I saw the Barricade too and just had to get one. While I was there, I also saw the N-Force Klaw Hatchet. Hadn't heard anything about that for a while. And on top of all that awesome, I saw the Xploderz too! There was only one left, and it was the largest one. I'll get the middle sized one, if any. I also saw ammo packs, which looked totally awesome. I think it might've been around 1cent each 'ball'. Apparently, you dump the tiny ammo "seeds" into the clip, add water and watch them grow. Neato.

I'm not lying I own the xblaster it gets 5 feet more distance than a longstrike the xblaster comes with the gun itself (obviously) the magazine with 75 balls in it already made sealed in a bag so he balls wont dehydrate and two 75 unmade balls gotta admit it's kinda nice the only problem is that it doesn't have a trigger you have to pull and release the plunger. this gun fires more than two balls don't know why but its awesome. if you look closely at all the other gun they also don't have triggers that's my review.

A toy blaster resource; from a kidult's perspective living in an Australian inner city apartment. Focusing on out- of- the- box foam dart, laser tag and water guns with the odd two player co-op game thrown in for good measure:)
